What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases, from $3,325,000 to $3,825,000 in both the 2017-18 and

2018-19 fiscal years, the amount of the appropriation for the Department of

Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection's soil and water resource management

program. The bill prohibits DATCP from requesting a continuation of this increased

funding in its budget request submitted for the following fiscal biennium. The bill

also increases, from $250,000 to $750,000, the amount under the program that may

be allocated for producer led watershed protection grants in each fiscal year of the

2017-19 biennium.

Under the 2017 Biennial Budget Act, $3,152,500 of the moneys in the

environmental fund that have been received for the purpose of environmental

management is required, in each fiscal year of the biennium, to be considered as

having been received for debt service payments for certain nonpoint source water

pollution abatement projects. This bill increases that amount to $3,652,500 in each

of those fiscal years.
